*using tariffs as a retaliatory foreign policy tool completely disengaged from economics and trade (the Brazil tariffs intended to force Brazil to corruptly manipulate its justice system to aid an ideological ally)*erratically applying tariff rates untethered from reality and later postponing them, creating tremendous uncertainty in markets
*damaging the value of the USD, which has declined precipitously vs other currencies
*inflicting great damage on US automakers’ profits
*making China look increasingly more desirable as a trade partner. China’s leadership is rational, stable, and seems to understand economics. China doesn’t base its economic policies on personal grudges and capricious whims. China doesn’t whipsaw between radically different economic and foreign policy goals every four to eight years. China doesn’t make agreements and then capriciously throw them out the window shortly thereafter as Trump has done with a trade deal made with Canada in his first term.
I don’t expect any of these facts to influence the opinions of devoted Trump cultists, who will always find a way to displace the blame for the negative fallout from their messiah’s deeply irrational policies onto Hunter Biden’s laptop or Hillary Clinton or drag queens or whatever else is the right wing’s latest ginned-up enemy of All That Is Good And Right. -
Trump's new China trade deal is still bad for US business & consumers

rob53 said:So shareholders want to sue for vaporware? Good luck on that. This happens all the time with products in every business. Companies try and make a good faith effort to bring a proposed product to market but these products don't always work out. I'd challenge the stockholders to justify everything they've said they were going to do but didn't. The stock market is gambling, plain and simple. Sometimes you win, most times you lose. Deal with it!
